Peugeot 308 – imagining a three-door 2nd-gen variant

We’ve seen what the second-generation Peugeot 308, which is set to debut in Frankfurt in September, will shape up like, and there’s quite a bit to like about the new exterior lines and shape flow.

The hatch has been announced in its five-door form, and no word as yet as to a three-door. The current first-gen model has such a body style – the 175 PS 308 GT was sold here in limited numbers early on.

Theophilus Chin has come up with a couple of renderings imagining what a three-door variant of the new car would shape up like – he muses that the company can either give it a whole new sheet metal, or if cost-constrained, re-angle the C-pillar like in his renderings. What do you think – does a three-door catch the eye better than the five-door?

    I think if Peugeot will come up with a 3 door , it will be more aggressively styled.

    VW has got conservative covered so peugeot must as well make its cars more interesting, much like what its sister Citroen is doing.

    Hoping that Peugeot will release a coupe based 308 sometime along its platform shelf life. Especially in light that they haven’t made a good looking coupe since the 406 (the 308 CC, RCZ and the 407 coupes all looked a little funny)
